yet another LTT..
...Taken in Devon a few weeks ago. These are great little birds that I see infrequently, but get immense pleasure watching them....even more pleasure photographing them :wink:

Cropped for composition but haven't much room to play with at the tail end....bordering on tight I reckon but I really liked the pose.

Comments appreciated as always

Hi Graeme

I don't mind seeing 'another LTT' when they are this good. My only wish is that the tail had featured a little more in the image!

Nice pose, also wish for the tail to be more in picture, like the negative space for the bird to look into, fraid I'm not a fan of horizontal perches they tend to divide the frame too aggressively for me....

The green may be from reflected light, or from rubbing on some green lichen/mould whilst foraging.

Thanks for the comments

I think the green on the breast is what Phil said..... reflected light or maybe moss rubbed on it......the former I reckon :toast:

A lovely shot - the BG is outstanding

Love the gradient B/G and the perch, agree with the others on the tail, for me it's what the bird is all about, like the pose and good detail. :smile:

Lovely shot Graeme - you've got these puppies nailed down well and truly! (not literally of course!)
